Doesn't that make sending the machine in for repair necessary? They may not be too happy if I say I messed it up with linux because I didn't enable apm because I didn't want it. The only thing I really want apm to do is autoshutoff the machine when I do halt, and maybe allow me to suspend manually, but usually when I have it plugged in to the wall there's no need to shut down two minutes when I'm in the middle of reading something. I rarely ever use my laptop on battery power anyway, so the power issue isn't even there, unless places have such high electric bills that the machine needs to shut off when you aren't touching it, it's hard to download files without pressing a key every few minutes, and then it says, windows is preparing to go on standby, even when I turn power settings off.
